In 2008, Block O North returned, which now resides in section 1A/2A. Block O North features use of capes while Block O South performs card stunts. These sections of the stadium are for students only and annually sell out their 2,083 ticket allotment within minutes of ticket sales window opening.{{citation needed|date=December 2011}} While seating is limited to this number, membership in the organization exceeds 2,500 students. Block "O" leads Ohio Stadium in many cheers and songs including Stadium OHIO and the OH-IO cheer, which was also started by Clancy Isaac. Since its inception, Block O has added several extensions to help meet student demand for other Ohio State sports. These groups include the Buckeye NutHouse (men's basketball and women's basketball), Buckeye Sluggers (baseball), Knucklebucks (men's ice hockey), Connor's Crew (men's soccer), Block O Volleyball, Block O Gymnastics, Block O Tennis, Block O Lacrosse, and Block O Wrestling.
